Different hands are possible while playing 7-card poker with a conventional 52-card deck, 52C7, or 133,784,560. The likelihood of receiving different hands is calculated by dividing the total number of possible outcomes by 133,784,560. The probabilities and number of possible outcomes for each type of hand are displayed to the right. Calculate the likelihood of not receiving this kind of hand.

Step 1
For any event A and the sample space S, the probability can be found as,
P(A)=Number of Favorable cases corresponding to event ATotal number of cases
=n(A)n(S)
Step 2
The Probability of complement of the event A is calculated as,
P(Ac)=1P(A)
Step 3
In a 7 card poker, a particular type of hand can occur in 7,480 ways. Let A be the event of the particular type of hand.
The probability of A is,
P(A)=n(A)n(S)
=7,480133,784,560
Step 4
The event of not being dealt of this type of hand is denoted by AC.
The probability of AC can be found as,
P(Ac)=1P(A)
=17,480133,784,560
=133,777,080133,784,560
=0.999944
Step 5
Answer:
The probability of not being dealt this type of hand is 0.999944.
